Genetic structure of populations of the Pampean grassland mouse, Akodon azarae, in an agroecosystem under intensive management
2019, Mammalian BiologyCitation Excerpt :At present, the landscape consists mainly of crop fields surrounded by wire fences, and crossed by paved and dirt roads and water streams; “border” habitats develop along these landscape elements. Borders are habitats with more homogeneous plant cover throughout the year than their surrounding habitats in farm landscapes (Priotto et al., 2002). Two groups of transects were laid out on field borders on opposite sides of two 7-m wide secondary dirt roads (A opposite to B, C opposite to D, respectively.
Seasonal variations and population parameters explaining the use of space of neotropical rodents
2016, Mammalian BiologyCitation Excerpt :Seasonal variation in the use of space may be explained by seasonal changes in reproductive activity, population density or food availability. Studies conducted on rodent populations have shown that the space use size is inversely related to the population density (Ambrose, 1973; Erlinge et al., 1990; Makarieva et al., 2005; Priotto et al., 2002). The presence of a member of the population affects the space used by another member because it imposes limits on its movements (Alho and Souza, 1982).
Manipulation of population density and food availability affects home range sizes of African striped mouse females
2015, Animal BehaviourCitation Excerpt :We thus conclude that the variation in home range sizes observed during our experiment was caused by food supplementation. Population density correlates negatively with home range sizes (Fortier & Tamarin, 1998; Luna & Baird, 2004; Priotto et al., 2002), a finding that has been supported by several experimental studies (Baker et al., 2000; Boutin & Schweiger, 1988; Norman & Jones, 1984). In accordance, we found female home range sizes increased significantly after we decreased population density.
Female home range size is regulated by resource distribution and intraspecific competition: a long-term field study
2010, Animal BehaviourCitation Excerpt :In this study, we demonstrated that seasonality, availability of food resources, cover, the number of direct neighbours and the relative individual body mass influenced home range size of female striped mice, which varied greatly between individuals, with the largest home ranges being 14 times larger than the smallest ones. In several rodent species, individuals have smaller home ranges at high population densities than at low population densities (Erlinge et al. 1990; Koskela et al. 1999; Priotto et al. 2002). However, mean population density may not always be a good estimate of the number of territorial neighbours an individual encounters.
